Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques for Investigating the MCT8-Deficient Brain in Murine Disease Models.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have emerged as powerful tools for unraveling the pathophysiology of rare diseases, mainly due to their pivotal role in early diagnosis, disease characterization, and treatment monitoring in a non-invasive manner. In this chapter, we will review two essential MRI tools used for studying and evaluating the pathophysiology of Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome or MCT8 deficiency, a rare disease caused by inactivating mutations in the SLC16A2 gene, encoding for the thyroid hormone-specific transmembrane transporter MCT8. These two MRI techniques are time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
